Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio hour or two on this Tuesday, Dan and
Speaker 1: the Dan Nets, Dan Patrick's Show. Glad to have you
Speaker 1: on board. If you're listening, you're watching on YouTube dot
Speaker 1: com slash the Dan Patrick's Show, you're tweeting, emailing, say
Speaker 1: good morning to chat and row boys are here ready
Speaker 1: to go? Did we settle on a poll question? Mclovin,
Speaker 1: I put up hour one, which sport is in the
Speaker 1: best shape right now? NFL, NBA or MLB sixty NFL,
Speaker 1: then NBA second and then MLBA distant third. All right,
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's fluid, it's it feels like it's
Speaker 1: every day where there's something else that comes up, there's
Speaker 1: progress that's made, two steps forward, two steps back. I mean,
Speaker 1: look at the Brooklyn Nets. You don't have Durant, you
Speaker 1: don't have Kyrie. You've got a couple other players. DeAndre
Speaker 1: Jordan's not going to go. You've got a couple of
Speaker 1: players who've tested positive yesterday. And I wonder if they're
Speaker 1: going to be able to put together a roster to
Speaker 1: go to Orlando. And I don't know if the commissioner
Speaker 1: would step in and say you know what. On second thought,
Speaker 1: the Wizards get to go because as Kyrie been cleared medically.
Speaker 1: I know nothing about Kyrie Irving's health status. I know
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant is coming back from the Achilles surgery. Has
Speaker 1: he been cleared medically. They just decided that he shouldn't
Speaker 1: be doing anything because that's what it feels like, and
Speaker 1: I think that's the prudent move. I don't want Kevin
Speaker 1: Durant to come back for a two month period or
Speaker 1: you know, six week period and try to do too much.
Speaker 1: I would want to load management Kevin Durant next year.
Speaker 1: I would take as many safety precautions as I could.
Speaker 1: Kyrie I don't even know what he what his injury is.
Speaker 1: Is it his knee. It's been so long ago, I've
Speaker 1: forgotten all about it. Yeah, Paul Kyrie Iring's shoulder surgery
Speaker 1: was four to six weeks, so they said it would
Speaker 1: be that timeline equal to he could be back in June.
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant was medically cleared at the end of March,
Speaker 1: according to the New York Post. Now medically cleared to
Speaker 1: start working out right, But that's two months ago. He
Speaker 1: was medically clear. Yeah, I'm sorry three months ago. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just don't see the upside to bring him back
Speaker 1: and have him play any chance though that the Nets
Speaker 1: and Durant and Kyrie look at us and say, hey,
Speaker 1: we have there's no home court advantage. There's this weird
Speaker 1: tournament down in Orlando. This evens the playing field a
Speaker 1: bit for us to advance on. Why not take a
Speaker 1: shot because you got DeAndre Jordan, Ounce Spencer, did Wittie
Speaker 1: just tested positive? You had Wilson Chandler who's not going
Speaker 1: to go. You don't even know if Kyrie is going
Speaker 1: to play. I can't put Durant in that situation. I
Speaker 1: just saw this from our friend Chris Haynes. Kevin Durant,
Speaker 1: who is continuing his rehab, will not accompany the team
Speaker 1: to Orlando for the season resumption, League sources tell Yahoo Sports.
Speaker 1: Not surprised. Yeah, mclovin, Yeah, I got bad news on
Speaker 1: the Wizards. They're six games back of the Nets with
Speaker 1: eight games to play. They ain't catching the Nets. Oh,
Speaker 1: I know they're not. But I'm saying, can Brooklyn actually
Speaker 1: field a team to go to Orlando? What happens if
Speaker 1: somebody else test positive on that team? I mean, is
Speaker 1: a team that half G League guys, any worse than
Speaker 1: the current Washington Wizards? Wow? Come on, Oh, who's gonna wait?
Speaker 1: Are we're afraid of Wizards? Wizards? You guys ever met
Speaker 1: a Wizard's dad? I'm sorry Redskins fans. We know some
Speaker 1: National fans out, but no one's ever met a Wizard here.
Speaker 1: You can't imagine anyone saying I grew up a diehard
Speaker 1: Wizards fan. Yeah, doesn't exist. How long had the Wizards
Speaker 1: been the Wizards? Because I remember when they were the
Speaker 1: Boltimore Bullets and they were a great team, but then
Speaker 1: they became the Wizards. Yes, they've been the Wizards. Why
Speaker 1: would you think if you could guess the year they
Speaker 1: went from Bullets to Wizards top of your head. Well,
Speaker 1: Abe Poland was the owner of the team, I think
Speaker 1: at the time, And I'm gonna get us twenty five
Speaker 1: years pretty close, Dan, twenty three years ago, ninety seven,
Speaker 1: ninety eight seasons your Wizards came into existence. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was the first where of politically correctness. When it comes
Speaker 1: to team names, it feels like because they were the Bullets,
Speaker 1: there were some college teams like Marquette and Saint John's
Speaker 1: and others changed. I don't know when they but I
Speaker 1: don't know when Saint John's went from the Redman and
Speaker 1: Marquette changed as well. I think it was a little
Speaker 1: earlier because Dartmouth changed in the late eighties from the
Speaker 1: Indians to the Big Green. Okay, there was a movement,
Speaker 1: it was in the early nineties to change those names,
Speaker 1: but nobody noticed because it was Dartmouth. They all did.
Speaker 1: I think that Syracuse George member right around like it
Speaker 1: all happened, right, yeah, okay, except it didn't happen in Washington.
Speaker 1: I know it didn't, and it's not gonna happen anytime
Speaker 1: soon either. Yeah, Paul, you saw what happened last week.
Speaker 1: The Redskins took down a statue one of their former owners.
Speaker 1: That's you could tell. That's such a pacification move to
Speaker 1: try to Yeah, can we change the topic. We'll take
Speaker 1: down this statue. Can you all move along so we
Speaker 1: don't have to address our team name. It's like, how
Speaker 1: much can we do? That's just enough so we don't
Speaker 1: have to change our nickname? Right all right? Age seven
Speaker 1: seven three DP show email I address DP of Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Dodge Coom Twitter handle at DP show. Say good
Speaker 1: morning to Doug in Florida. Hi, Doug, what's on your
Speaker 1: mind today? A DP five eleven one seventy. I wanted
Speaker 1: to share with you that McLevin could not be further
Speaker 1: from the truth or understanding and needs some pay attention
Speaker 1: to the master. By spring, we would be willing to
Speaker 1: watch cockroaches play football mccause of the biochemistry of the
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen virus, NBA bubble, NFL NCUBA. Although, guys, it's
Speaker 1: going to be a disaster, but you just can't control
Speaker 1: the thing. It's got to play a stuff out, or
Speaker 1: we've got to have a vaccine or a cure. But yeah,
Speaker 1: mcglevin to come spring if we're If IVY League football
Speaker 1: does not have the highest ratings, then I'll take you
Speaker 1: seiling for the weekend. My friend come down before it there.
Speaker 1: That's kind of a worst case. He's saying that there's
Speaker 1: gonna be no sports until that, like the super Bowl
Speaker 1: won't well, there won't be any football after the super Bowl,
Speaker 1: and you would plug into that spring football XP foul
Speaker 1: window that everybody was going crazy over. Now, granted you
Speaker 1: know that those numbers dissipated, but this is just a
Speaker 1: proposal from the IVY League, and we asked to have
Speaker 1: somebody on from the IVY League. Fritzie, Can I read
Speaker 1: a portion of what they sent to us? Sure? Um,
Speaker 1: not going to be publicly commenting outside the statement. Therefore,
Speaker 1: we respectfully cannot have Is this the commissioner of the
Speaker 1: IVY League on the show this morning? Yeah? Well look
Speaker 1: at that, the executive director, Robin Horizon. Okay, but they're
Speaker 1: just talking about spring football. That's all just the possibility
Speaker 1: of waiting to the spring. And it's the IVY League.
Speaker 1: Saint John's changed its nickname nineteen ninety four, so twenty
Speaker 1: six years ago. Uh, Louis Carnesecco was now is he
Speaker 1: still the head coach? Then? I know he made the announcement,
Speaker 1: but he's alive. I saw him in a local news
Speaker 1: interview last month doing great. The Redman will now be
Speaker 1: known as the Red Storm. And I don't even remember
Speaker 1: Marquette changing its name with Warriors, yeah years ago. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and Hawaii do that with the Rainbow Rainbows with Rainbow Warriors. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I got Syracuse in two thousand and four from the
Speaker 1: Orange Men to the Orange O. Uh, Jeff and Detroit, Hi, Jeff,
Speaker 1: what do you have for me today? What up though?
Speaker 1: One time for my buds and girls and chat row
Speaker 1: damn yahn the other day. Listen, are you Flanny man? Listen?
Speaker 1: As far as golfsk you got Lebron and you got time.
Speaker 1: Do you ever remember a time where it was two
Speaker 1: goats at the same time with such jevity? I thought
Speaker 1: about it when both of these guys got in the leagues.
Speaker 1: I was in my twenties, We're getting ready to have
Speaker 1: a fiftieth birthday, and they're still fighting for championships to
Speaker 1: this day. Do you ever remember two athletes with such
Speaker 1: great resumes fighting for championships this right in their careers. Well,
Speaker 1: Tom's the goat, but Lebron's not the goat. He's in
Speaker 1: the conversation. So I think, yeah, Jeff, Well what I
Speaker 1: think him being in so many different championships, come running
Speaker 1: to pisted us to the championship, him taking what was
Speaker 1: the Miami, and if he does it with the Lakers,
Speaker 1: he's definitely going to be in the question. I mean
Speaker 1: in a conversation. I know he's in the conversation, it's
Speaker 1: just people won't allow him in the conversation. Thank you, Jeff,
Speaker 1: because of their memories with Jordan and certainly with documentary
Speaker 1: that came out that just reinforced you know how people
Speaker 1: thought about Mike. But Lebron's in the conversation. But I
Speaker 1: don't think he'll ever be the goat. He'd have to
Speaker 1: win at least two more titles, and then you could
Speaker 1: have And I don't even want to get into this
Speaker 1: topic because it's silly. You know, battle lines are drawn.
Speaker 1: You either believe it or not. You you know, nobody's
Speaker 1: gonna take Michael off the pedestal. I entertain it. But
Speaker 1: they're different basketball players. The only person who's close to
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan, in my opinion, is Kobe. Because Kobe tried
Speaker 1: to be Mike. Lebron can't be Mike. He's different, and
Speaker 1: therefore I don't think he'll be. There's that apples and oranges.
Speaker 1: You're trying to compare the two, but you can't. You
Speaker 1: just get they're different players, different people, different errors. Yampoint.
Speaker 1: One thing that's interesting. I just looked at the timeline.
Speaker 1: Tom Brady really became a household name when he won
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl in January of two two correct, yeah,
Speaker 1: four weeks later. Lebron James on the cover supports ILLUSTRAI
Speaker 1: as a high school athlete. So Tom Brady was not
Speaker 1: that well known when he got handed the rains that
Speaker 1: season in OH one, and then he became household name
Speaker 1: January of O two. Lebron James basically became a household
Speaker 1: name before he got drafted a year and a half
Speaker 1: later by being on SI cover three weeks after Brady
Speaker 1: wins the Super Bowl. So those guys have been household
Speaker 1: names since then. Yes, I think it was still kind
Speaker 1: of controversial that they didn't bring Bledsoe back once he
Speaker 1: got healthy, that they left Brady in. I mean, that's yeah,
Speaker 1: it says a lot about has his star power. Then well,
Speaker 1: if you go back and listen to that final drive
Speaker 1: with John Madden, John Madden is questioning the coaching philosophy
Speaker 1: of or decision of Bill Belichick to let Brady throw
Speaker 1: the ball down the field because he thought that they
Speaker 1: were not going to try to get in, you know,
Speaker 1: fuel goal range, that you were going to play for
Speaker 1: overtime because we weren't sure about Tom Brady and Brady's
Speaker 1: numbers were kind of pedestrian. I think in that first
Speaker 1: Super Bowl that was basically won by the defense, their
Speaker 1: strategy against Marshall Falk. But you know Brady Brady wasn't
Speaker 1: one that you know, you looked at him and you went,
Speaker 1: that's greatness. I remember after that Super Bowl, so that
Speaker 1: next day and you know, we're just going is is
Speaker 1: he like, is he gonna be great? I didn't know
Speaker 1: at the time. I thought, you know, boy, that's a
Speaker 1: great story. And you know the fact that Bledsoe helped them,
Speaker 1: I think against Pittsburgh in the playoffs. But I looked
Speaker 1: at Brady and I went, I don't know if he
Speaker 1: does anything great, but he didn't get flustered in the
Speaker 1: biggest moment of his young career. And I thought, okay,
Speaker 1: something to be said. There's no way. At the time,
Speaker 1: I went, man, that guy is destined for greatness. Yeah, poem.
Speaker 1: And if you watch, I watched the end of that
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, the fourth quarter a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 1: and John Madden's calling in and when they get the
Speaker 1: ball back, like, well, you know you got a young
Speaker 1: quarterback in there, just run a few plays and play
Speaker 1: for overtime. Yeah they didn't. Yeah, so here's John Madden
Speaker 1: saying that. And then they were aggressive and then Vinitary
Speaker 1: kicks the field goal but there's no way I figured
Speaker 1: Lebron was going to be something. Did I think he
Speaker 1: was going to be this? Probably not, But knowing everything
Speaker 1: about Lebron James and how he played the game, having
Speaker 1: seen one basketball game that he played in, So you
Speaker 1: have a guy who's six to eight by far, the
Speaker 1: biggest guy on the floor, and he's the best passer
Speaker 1: on the floor. And I remember coming away going, it's
Speaker 1: unbelievable how unselfish he is, and he wanted to make
Speaker 1: others better, and you know, Jordan's not that kind of guy.
Speaker 1: Jordan's philosophy was, why do I throw it to you?
Speaker 1: Even if I'm double covered, I'm probably I got a
Speaker 1: better chance of scoring than you do if you're wide open.
Speaker 1: Lebron would always find the open man. And you had
Speaker 1: these guys who look like they're about five to nine
Speaker 1: on the team, and he would make great passes even
Speaker 1: back then. All Right, so we got a pull question
Speaker 1: here up Paul and ohio joints is Paul? What's on
Speaker 1: your mind? Hey Dan, what's going on? Oh? You tell me, Paul,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind? Well? Physical I went to physical
Speaker 1: therapist yesterday, Dan, and your name popped up. I was
Speaker 1: showing her things Cooke on my tragger and there was
Speaker 1: a little picture of you, and she goes, is that
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick? And I said, yeah, anyway, I showed her
Speaker 1: a little video of my Walter Midi Mollet with a
Speaker 1: jerky and she goes, I loved Dan Patrick. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: He's one of my favorites. So I thought I'd pass
Speaker 1: it along to you and well you did anybody have
Speaker 1: any more comments about the keeople of Oberman pain That
Speaker 1: kind of really concerned me. What do you mean, I
Speaker 1: mean the World Series? Yeah? Yeah, Buster Only from the
Speaker 1: Mothership has said the same thing. Thank you, Paul. Thanks
Speaker 1: that update. Our female population is skyrocketing huge and I
Speaker 1: think it's three now that we have at least three
Speaker 1: on record. Yeah, Oberman said zero percent chance of the
Speaker 1: World Series. Buster Only said the same thing. I'm a
Speaker 1: little more optimistic than that. I'm going to be a
Speaker 1: little bit more than zero percent that the World Series
Speaker 1: won't happen. Here, by the way, talking about high school athletes,
Speaker 1: Lebron James on the cover Sports Illustrated at seventeen, Bryce
Speaker 1: Harper on the cover at sixteen, and there are a
Speaker 1: few others there. I don't know if you know who
Speaker 1: Imani Bates is, because he's a big deal. He just
Speaker 1: committed to Michigan State yesterday and he's been on the
Speaker 1: radar of serious basketball fans for a while. Last year
Speaker 1: he became the first sophomore ever to be the National
Speaker 1: Player of the Year, Gatorade National Player of the Year,
Speaker 1: and you have a lot of scouts saying he might
Speaker 1: be the best high school prospect since Lebron James. Now,
Speaker 1: the problem is all this attention actually makes the commitment
Speaker 1: to Michigan State, and we're precarious by twenty twenty two,
Speaker 1: high school players should be able to go directly to
Speaker 1: the NBA. I'm gonna guess Bates will go right to
Speaker 1: the NBA. I'm wondering, and I don't know if he
Speaker 1: can do this or not, And maybe somebody who is
Speaker 1: listening can help us. I'm gonna guess Bates can get
Speaker 1: himself a shoe deal individually right now, Adidas, Nike. If
Speaker 1: he's not going to play college basketball, I don't know
Speaker 1: if you're ineligible in high school, PAULI if you could
Speaker 1: check that, But I mean, he's got the hype that
Speaker 1: goes along with this. But you're talking about a prospect
Speaker 1: that could be the next Lebron James, the next Lebron
Speaker 1: James with that much publicity going into the NBA. Yeah point.
Speaker 1: Don't you think that his team and his family announce
Speaker 1: this declaration on national TV ESPN yesterday almost when they
Speaker 1: see what Lebron is doing, get famous before you're in
Speaker 1: the league, have your marketing deals now, start working on
Speaker 1: them now. So when he does go in NBA drafts
Speaker 1: in two years, he's by far the number one pick,
Speaker 1: but also a household name. Can he have a shoe deal?
Speaker 1: Would that make him ineligible to play high school basketball? Yeah, McLevin,
Speaker 1: But it'd make him ineligible for college. Well he's not
Speaker 1: going to college, Okay, So I mean, if you know
Speaker 1: you're not going to college, But did we know? For like,
Speaker 1: Zion probably could have signed a shoe deal in high school,
Speaker 1: but he knew he had to go to college. This
Speaker 1: kid is This kid is considered a better prospect than
Speaker 1: Zion Williamson. He's a better basketball player by his sophomore
Speaker 1: year than Zion Williamson. Zion Williamson was a just you know,
Speaker 1: he's a spectacular athlete. This by all accounts, I Monti
Speaker 1: Bates is a great basketball player. I've been hearing about
Speaker 1: him since eighth grade, and I think at the time
Speaker 1: people were talking about in eighth grade he was the
Speaker 1: best player in the state of Michigan. But this is
Speaker 1: this helps Michigan stay from the standpoint of he may
Speaker 1: not go there, but I think him announcing that he
Speaker 1: trusted tom Izzo and that other recruits might look at
Speaker 1: this and say, let me give Michigan State another look.
Speaker 1: But I don't think he's going to play at Michigan State.
Speaker 1: But I'm curious. You know, maybe Pat Forty, you know, Fritzie,
Speaker 1: give forty a heads up he's going to join us? Here?
Speaker 1: Can you? Could he have a shoe deal, you know
Speaker 1: above board where everybody knows you have a shoe deal,
Speaker 1: Because if I'm Nike or Adidas and I can lock
Speaker 1: him in now, absolutely, because we saw what Zions signed
Speaker 1: for then he signed a ninety million dollars shoe deal.
Speaker 1: And if you can get this kid now, I would
Speaker 1: lock him up absolutely. All right? Eight seven seven three
Speaker 1: D P show email address DP at dan Patrick dot com.
Speaker 1: We got our poll question correct, Well, we can keep
Speaker 1: up that multiple spot one. We could go back to cam.
Speaker 1: We could Uh, well, what do you want to ask
Speaker 1: with Cam Well, Paul, he was asking whether it be
Speaker 1: a you know, a pocket quarterback or a running quarterback. Plack.
Speaker 1: It can't be a pocket quarter It's not even in
Speaker 1: play because you know these quarterbacks play that way that
Speaker 1: you can try to One of the guys who got
Speaker 1: deep program was Steve Young. Steve Young would have his
Speaker 1: one read and then he would go and he had
Speaker 1: to go through his progressions. And this is according to
Speaker 1: you know, somebody on the coaching staff with the Niners
Speaker 1: who said we had to deprogram him from the USFL
Speaker 1: days to when he was in Tampa. You know, he
Speaker 1: ran because you know, he's trying to survive. And he
Speaker 1: got to San Francisco and their offense, you know, the
Speaker 1: West Coast offense. Montana never ran. It was just quick
Speaker 1: passes there, Rice and Taylor, Dwight Clark. And they had
Speaker 1: to deep program Steve and say you got progressions to
Speaker 1: make and then if you have to run, you can on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: McLevin does that even the slow quarterbacks to this run
Speaker 1: pass option like it was. It isn't. Nick Foles an
Speaker 1: RPOs specialist, and he's as slow as anybody in the world.
Speaker 1: I don't He's an RPO special. Yeah, this isn't that
Speaker 1: what the Eagles screwed up the Patriots with in the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. But they kept rolling him right in RPO
Speaker 1: ing and he never ran. He always threw. But I
Speaker 1: feel like even Brady was running an RPO. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I feel like RPO is the standard play now in
Speaker 1: the NFL, and I could be wrong. I'll ask an
Speaker 1: expert here, but it feels like that. But but I'm
Speaker 1: not quite sure. I like, do we look at Nick Foles?
Speaker 1: I mean, it always amazed me that the Patriots gave
Speaker 1: Foles respect as if he was going to run the
Speaker 1: football in the Super Bowl, and I went he ain't running,
Speaker 1: and he didn't. He would just they'd be like, Oh,
Speaker 1: We're gonna be cautious here now, I'm gonna be back,
Speaker 1: you know, waiting for a pound. Yeah, I McLevin. Do
Speaker 1: you think ten years ago the Ravens would have told
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson to run less? As have attitude changed in
Speaker 1: the NFL slowly, But it feels like you have to
Speaker 1: change because you're seeing the type of quarterbacks who are
Speaker 1: coming in now that you know you can't be archaic.
Speaker 1: It can't be Caveman football here. And that's why you're seeing.
Speaker 1: You know, Belichick has loved Cam Newton. He thought about
Speaker 1: Johnny Manziel, He thought about Baker Mayfield. You're you're looking,
Speaker 1: you have to look at this to stay relevant. I
Speaker 1: think you can't be no where our quarterback sits in
Speaker 1: the pocket there. I mean the Saints have that because
Speaker 1: that's who Drew Brees is. He can't run Philip Rivers
Speaker 1: can't run Ben can't run. Those quarterbacks, those are dinosaurs.
Speaker 1: Brady can't run. All of these other quarterbacks coming in,
Speaker 1: you're athletes. Yeah. Point. If you look at Lamar Jackson,
Speaker 1: I think he was drafted in twenty eighteen, seventeen, ten
Speaker 1: years earlier, he would have been Pat White at West Virginia,
Speaker 1: an unbelievable run and shoot quarterback. And Pat White was fantastic.
Speaker 1: He barely glimbed on. Did he barely get the Dolphins? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he was a phil guy. I thought he was
Speaker 1: going to be a good NFL quarterback at Pat White,
Speaker 1: we're coming out now, he'd be the top thirty pick. Yes,
Speaker 1: we can get a really significantly vicious concussion early in
Speaker 1: his career. Well, he's also a baseball guy I think
Speaker 1: in the Kansas City Royals in the second round. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I liked him. Yeah, I thought he was really good.
Speaker 1: He got one of the worst concussions and that slowed
Speaker 1: him down big time. Oh Dolphin, I'll check on that.
Speaker 1: All right, Phone calls are welcome. We'll settle on a
Speaker 1: pull question. Guy Fieri Flavortown. He's from Columbus, Ohio. They've
Speaker 1: already I think, taken down Christopher Columbus's monument there, and
Speaker 1: now you have a petition signed by thousands of people
Speaker 1: to rename Columbus Flavortown. Guy Fieri will join us? Is
Speaker 1: that something Guy would want because he's always taken a
Speaker 1: trip to Flavortown and that's usually wherever Guy goes, he's
Speaker 1: going to Flavortown. Yeah, the mayor of Flavortown. So I
Speaker 1: want to meet the person who started all that. Is
Speaker 1: there a deputy mayor? Do they have like a streets
Speaker 1: and water to But when you so who comes up
Speaker 1: with the idea and says we're going to get thousands
Speaker 1: of signatures? Do you go door to door? Do you
Speaker 1: go to supermarkets? Where do you get all these people
Speaker 1: to sign I think it's just online problem. Oh it is. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know if they've taken to the streets. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but they might be all right. We'll take a break.
Speaker 1: More phone calls coming up, Pad forty. We'll talk the
Speaker 1: possibility of spring football, certainly for the IVY League. Coming up,
Speaker 1: it's a twenty three after the hour here on The
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick Show. Thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick
Speaker 1: Show podcast. Be sure to catch us live every weekday

Speaker 1: stream us live every day on the iHeartRadio app by
Speaker 1: searching f s R. Just got a text from former
Speaker 1: NFL scout said, the following Patriots C Baltimore and Lamar
Speaker 1: Jackson is the new trend of offense in the NFL.
Speaker 1: College schemes, running quarterbacks, power rushing attack puts great pressure
Speaker 1: on the defense. NFL coordinators are now talking and studying
Speaker 1: with college defensive coordinators who see these offenses every week.
Speaker 1: Cam would be their version of Lamar Jackson running game,
Speaker 1: deep play action shots. That's why you know we always
Speaker 1: give Belichick credit that he's usually a couple of steps
Speaker 1: ahead of everybody. He's not the Ravens or a couple
Speaker 1: of steps ahead Arizona. It feels like it's a couple
Speaker 1: of steps ahead because they brought in quarterbacks that you
Speaker 1: probably went they can't play at the next level. Remember,
Speaker 1: you know Kyler Murray was too short. I haven't heard
Speaker 1: anything about I didn't hear much about that the second
Speaker 1: half of the season. Any I think he was probably
Speaker 1: would you check it was Kyler Murray the same height
Speaker 1: that at the end of the years he was at
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year. Actually, we haven't heard back
Speaker 1: from him. Okay, we haven't. Okay, I just want to
Speaker 1: make sure. Don't ask Himmy won't tell you anything. That's
Speaker 1: why he won't say that. Yeah, he won't tell me anything.
Speaker 1: All right. Pat Forties said to join us here. He
Speaker 1: covers college at ball college basketball for Sports Illustrated senior writer. There,
Speaker 1: he joins us from Louisville. Good morning, how are you patting? Right?
Speaker 1: Unlike Kyler Murray, I will not know compentent? Okay, awesome.
Speaker 1: I just brought up this great recruit, Amanti Bates out
Speaker 1: of Michigan. He's a sophomore, and I'm wondering can a
Speaker 1: shoe company lock him up now as a sophomore in
Speaker 1: high school, depending what the like Michigan High School basketball
Speaker 1: rules are. Maybe, you know, certainly under the table they can,
Speaker 1: as they have been doing for the last couple of days.
Speaker 1: But you know, if you want to give him the
Speaker 1: fifty million dollar contract, then that you'd have to go
Speaker 1: above board there. And now that's the thing. If this
Speaker 1: prep school that he's going to is not going to
Speaker 1: play by Michigan High School Athletic Association rules might be
Speaker 1: a whole different deal. You might be able to throw
Speaker 1: the money on the table for him now. And then
Speaker 1: the next questions name image enliteness. If he's going to
Speaker 1: go to Michigan State, if the two percent chance actually happens,
Speaker 1: you know, what could he accept via a name image
Speaker 1: of likeness? And what could he not accept? Oh? I
Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna end up in Michigan State. Man.
Speaker 1: His dad started this prep school, so his dad's his
Speaker 1: coach there. You know, if I'm Nike, is Michigan State
Speaker 1: a Nike school? I believe? Okay? So if I'm Nike,
Speaker 1: why don't I just put his parents on payroll as
Speaker 1: consultants and pay them, you know, fifty million dollars over
Speaker 1: the next five years. Well, I guarantee they're already on
Speaker 1: payroll as consultants. The question is, yeah, how much versus
Speaker 1: you know, a straight out monster deal directly to their son.
Speaker 1: But but there's no doubt that Nike was paying them
Speaker 1: for the Bates Fundamentals team that they had in the
Speaker 1: au circuit the last couple of years, and they will
Speaker 1: pay for this prep school, you know, the consulting fee there,
Speaker 1: and then eventually, yeah, the big money's coming again. I
Speaker 1: just don't know whether they're ready, you know, to give
Speaker 1: a sixteen year old fifty million dollars. If it were me,
Speaker 1: I'd wait until he's like eighteen. Then I've seen his
Speaker 1: progression continue the way it's been. I mentioned the IVY
Speaker 1: League is pondering the idea of spring football, and I
Speaker 1: don't know where we're going to be in the spring
Speaker 1: and how different it's going to be in the fall.
Speaker 1: But your thoughts on the IVY League doing this, well,
Speaker 1: I mean, i'd say pay attention because remember they were
Speaker 1: the first ones to cancel on basketball and everybody thought,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, that's extreme. They're you know they're overreacting. No,
Speaker 1: they were right. They were ahead of everybody else. And
Speaker 1: I think people will pay attention to what they're doing
Speaker 1: around college sports. Nobody wants to go to spring, but
Speaker 1: it's a possible safety net. I think there's more and
Speaker 1: more people that are open to it now than they
Speaker 1: were a month ago, you know. And I think that, Gosh,
Speaker 1: we kind of kept kicking the cam down the road
Speaker 1: Dan for a few weeks now, like, well, let's wait
Speaker 1: till July first. We're getting close to July first. Doesn't
Speaker 1: look very good. Ah, we better wait till July fifteenth.
Speaker 1: But I think there will be serious discussions in the
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks about what if, what do we
Speaker 1: do if we just don't think that we can safely
Speaker 1: bring back players, bring back students, have colleges normal in
Speaker 1: the fall, maybe we do look at a spring. Boomer Scienson,
Speaker 1: the former NFL quarterback, works for CBS. He has a
Speaker 1: morning show in New York and WFA. He floated out
Speaker 1: the idea or possibility that maybe all of these kids
Speaker 1: are testing positive and that might be more strategic at
Speaker 1: the you know, the high level in college football. Your
Speaker 1: thoughts on that, I mean, It would not completely shock me,
Speaker 1: especially you know, like Clemson, where I don't think Debo
Speaker 1: Sweeney is the guy that's running around like saying we
Speaker 1: really need to respect the virus. I think it's more
Speaker 1: the other way around. So he might be saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: let's get it all out of the way now, as
Speaker 1: opposed to have an eight guys test positive the week
Speaker 1: we play Notre Dame and not be able to play them.
Speaker 1: You know, that's a very risky approach obviously. You know,
Speaker 1: if you talked infectious disease experts and health experts, they're
Speaker 1: going to say, no, this is really not a very
Speaker 1: good idea. Not you know, be able to ensure that
Speaker 1: all health side effects of this are going to be
Speaker 1: minor and everybody's going to come back and be perfectly fine,
Speaker 1: and you're not going to spread it to coaches and
Speaker 1: support personnel and eventually professors and all that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: So it would be a very risky strategy, But would
Speaker 1: I would shock me completely now. Philip Fulmer, the athletic
Speaker 1: director of Tennessee, is planning on one hundred thousand fans
Speaker 1: for football games in the fall. Yeah, I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: the under on that. Pat yea. In the you know what,
Speaker 1: you take the younger even in full health, because they
Speaker 1: haven't been filling that place. Well, this recruiting class though,
Speaker 1: they got a good recruiting class here. It's right, they
Speaker 1: just got another three star out of Stone Mountain, Georgia.
Speaker 1: Look out. Now they're not gonna have one hundred thousand.
Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna have one hundred thousands. So, I mean, the
Speaker 1: things would have to change so radically. And I know
Speaker 1: this has changed significantly as we've gone along, but for
Speaker 1: the next two months, things would have to just absolutely
Speaker 1: turn on a dime. And right now we're going the
Speaker 1: other direction from that. So maybe if you're very lucky
Speaker 1: you play football and then you get twenty thirty forty
Speaker 1: thousand in there, you have a radical realignment plan for
Speaker 1: college football. I do you want to explain it? Give
Speaker 1: me the cliff notes version here. Yeah, the new FBS,
Speaker 1: the forty Bowl Subdivision. Basically, every conference is fractured. You
Speaker 1: remake them as ten twelve team conferences, one hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty teams total. You kick out eleven, you bring in
Speaker 1: North Dakota State, you move them up. Every one of
Speaker 1: the ten conference champions gets an automatic bid to a
Speaker 1: twelve team playoff. You had two at large teams. You
Speaker 1: play four teams, get to buy eight teams, play on
Speaker 1: college campuses, first round, quarterfinals on college campuses, then semmis
Speaker 1: and championship as normal, and you basically you you are
Speaker 1: much more regionally oriented here, you know, instead of having
Speaker 1: West Virginia going to Lubbock and vice versa, the conferences
Speaker 1: are much more or aligned so that student athletes don't
Speaker 1: have to travel as far and schools don't have to
Speaker 1: pay as much to do the traveling. What kind of
Speaker 1: reaction have you gotten? Some people love it, some people
Speaker 1: hate it, generally if you are an establishment Terrian and
Speaker 1: you've already got everything going your way, like Notre Dame
Speaker 1: doesn't want to be in a conference, and Notre Dame
Speaker 1: hates the fact that I want to put them in
Speaker 1: a conference. Florida and Georgia do not want to be
Speaker 1: in a conference with Florida Atlantic and Georgia Southern, But
Speaker 1: in my deal they are. Now, if you're Georgia Southern,
Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, bring it on, bring the dogs down
Speaker 1: to States. Boroh, let's play them. So it just kind
Speaker 1: of depends on your point of view. Who would USC
Speaker 1: be in with USC would be in the West Coast Conference,
Speaker 1: which would be most of the PAC twelve. Plus you're
Speaker 1: kicking out Arizona, Arizona State, Utah, and Colorado, and you're
Speaker 1: putting in like San Diego State, Fresno State, Hawaii, and Nevada.
Speaker 1: They would be the literal twelve westernmost schools the PLAYFBS. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wondered if we would get to the point where
Speaker 1: that we would have the five, the Power five, and
Speaker 1: you would just leave it at that and you just say,
Speaker 1: let's secede from the Union here and we have our
Speaker 1: own college football program. You have a commissioner, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: five twelve team conferences. Yeah, and maybe have an eight
Speaker 1: team or ten team playoff. What do you what do
Speaker 1: you think about that proposal? Well, that's more likely than
Speaker 1: my proposal. It is that because the big guys don't
Speaker 1: want to share, so they're you know, if they don't
Speaker 1: have to, they're not going to. And yeah, they'd probably
Speaker 1: just as soon separate from the American Athletic Conference in
Speaker 1: the Great mid or the Midwest, Mountain West and the
Speaker 1: MAC and all that. But still the you know, the
Speaker 1: one thing they don't want, they want to take the
Speaker 1: NCAA structure with them, so that somebody is in charge
Speaker 1: of hosting championships and so and putting them on, and
Speaker 1: somebody is in charge of being the bad guy, because
Speaker 1: none of them want to be the bad guy. They
Speaker 1: don't want to police at anything. They'd rather have the
Speaker 1: NCAA do it ineffectively and then blame them for being
Speaker 1: an active So the NCAA does exist for a reason,
Speaker 1: but the Power five breaking away is more likely, unfortunately
Speaker 1: than my superior plan. How's morale? Uh? You know, good enough,
Speaker 1: good enough, keep it going. You know, let's just one
Speaker 1: day at a time and let's see what we can
Speaker 1: possibly get to by the time school starts. What's the
Speaker 1: first game that you're scheduled to go to. I am
Speaker 1: not scheduled right now for anything. I went to the
Speaker 1: Belmont Stakes and that is all I have on my plate.
Speaker 1: We've got a meeting later this week to kind of
Speaker 1: see where we're going to get if we're going to
Speaker 1: go to two games, but we'll go from there. I
Speaker 1: would imagine, you know, the Kentucky Derby is on Labor
Speaker 1: Day weekend, so I would cover that, but I would
Speaker 1: probably be football games that Thursday and maybe even that,
Speaker 1: maybe even Monday, that Labor Day, if there are football
Speaker 1: games and we beam it safe to travel. I got
Speaker 1: a book for you when it comes out. Right Thompson
Speaker 1: wrote it, and it's about Pappy Van Winkle. It's about
Speaker 1: it's about horse racing and Pappy Van Winkle, and I
Speaker 1: got an advanced copy and read it. It's wonderful. I
Speaker 1: mean because right Thompson is he's not one of the
Speaker 1: best sports writers. He's one of the best writers out there.
Speaker 1: And I figured that you, being in Louisville, you have
Speaker 1: great appreciation for that. And maybe you've had Pappy van
Speaker 1: Winkle before. I have had some Pappy cross my lips.
Speaker 1: So you can bind right and Pappy and bring on,
Speaker 1: bring on the book. I'll take it and the Derby.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Pat. Good to talk to you and we'll
Speaker 1: talk soon. Thank you. Okay, Pat forty Sports Illustrated Senior
Speaker 1: writer back with your phone calls after this and The
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick Show. Thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick
Speaker 1: Show podcast. Be sure to catch us live every weekday
Speaker 1: morning nine until noon eastern six to nine Pacific on
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, and you can find us on the
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app. At FSR or stream us live every day
Speaker 1: at YouTube dot com slash. The Dan Patrick Show went
Speaker 1: back in the control room. The big german is the director.
Speaker 1: I'm used to going in control rooms where there's some
Speaker 1: really impressive directors and producers, high end producers and directors.
Speaker 1: I go in there. I got Dylan over there doing graphics,
Speaker 1: at least I think he is. Tyler is. They have
Speaker 1: a jar there for every time Tyler screws up that
Speaker 1: he has to put a dollar in it, and it's
Speaker 1: starting to fill up. And then I got the big,
Speaker 1: big german there, so I'm in good hands. I got
Speaker 1: a dog back there. Penny's there, yes, hen soon to
Speaker 1: be the Emmy Award wing and Tyler's showing the jar,
Speaker 1: but he's got to make sure he doesn't show what's
Speaker 1: written on that jar. There's a word that shouldn't be
Speaker 1: on there. Tyler just making sure. Yep, I'm in good hands.
Speaker 1: This is why I left ESPN so I could have
Speaker 1: a show just like this. We're doing cam chowdered t shirts.
Speaker 1: Brady's threatening to sue us. I got it better than us. Nobody,
Speaker 1: Oh buddy, no body. Jesse and Colorado, Hi, Jess, what
Speaker 1: he have for him today. Hey, Dan, thanks for taking
Speaker 1: my call. Five eight two hundred. I was just wondering
Speaker 1: what you guys have thought about Cam Newton signing. Is
Speaker 1: Cam really the genius in all this? Is he using
Speaker 1: because the Patriots? You know they're famous for underpaying the players?
Speaker 1: Is he using the Patriots as kind of a base
Speaker 1: to get back in the NFL and sign multimillion dollars
Speaker 1: in any team that he wants because the best coach
Speaker 1: in football? Yeah, yeah, this is this. But he had
Speaker 1: no leverage. There are no other teams. I know Cleveland
Speaker 1: talked about this. There was a report that Cleveland was
Speaker 1: interested or at least thought about bringing Cam Newton in,
Speaker 1: But New England was the only team interested in bringing
Speaker 1: in Cam Newton. Therefore, he had no leverage. Therefore, do
Speaker 1: you want to play? And I think it was Beaumonty
Speaker 1: Jones who said this a few weeks ago. If you're
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, do you want to go in and sign
Speaker 1: a million dollar deal or do you you know, want
Speaker 1: to do something else? But if Cam Newton is it
Speaker 1: lives up to Cam Newton's hype. He's gonna be very
Speaker 1: rich again because he's young enough, he's thirty one if
Speaker 1: if he starts in New England proves he can play. Now,
Speaker 1: he's got leverage, but he didn't have leverage before. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of other teams are now asking their beat
Speaker 1: reporters are asking why didn't we sign Cam Newton. It's
Speaker 1: just one example as Chicago and the analysis thereth they
Speaker 1: signed Nick Foles and guaranteed him twenty one million dollars.
Speaker 1: They could have got Cam Newton in theory for you know,
Speaker 1: one fifth that or less. But I think the theory
Speaker 1: is Mitch Trubisky can't have Cam Newton over his shoulder.
Speaker 1: The Patriots don't care about that kind of stuff. If
Speaker 1: you can't handle someone over your shoulder, then get lost.
Speaker 1: They don't care about protecting a young player who's trying
Speaker 1: to develop. Yeah, I understand if I'm the Patriots and
Speaker 1: I got a chance to do something and maybe counteract
Speaker 1: what Baltimore is doing with Lamar Jackson. Because Cam's one
Speaker 1: of the founding fathers of the run pass option, Colin Kaepernick.
Speaker 1: That's why teams should be looking at him, just to
Speaker 1: see if he is committed to playing and what kind
Speaker 1: of shape he's in. I would that's what the league
Speaker 1: is now RPO run pass option, Yeah, mc clean, all right.
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill is the same age as Cam. He did
Speaker 1: a minimum deal, yeah, and he just signed four years,
Speaker 1: one hundred eighteen million. Yeah. When he went to Tennessee,
Speaker 1: I said at the time, he'll be the starter. He'll
Speaker 1: beat up Marcus Mariota. I didn't know that he would
Speaker 1: get that kind of contract. If you said who's getting
Speaker 1: getting paid, Derrick Henry or Ryan Tannehill, I would have said, well,
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry is he got a one year deal. He's
Speaker 1: a running back. But I would certainly be looking at
Speaker 1: I think it's smart for the Patriots to do this,
Speaker 1: and I think Belichick it's hard to do it when
Speaker 1: you have Tom Brady there. But they brought in quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: You know, they brought in what Michael Bishop, he was
Speaker 1: an RPO guy. Now, he was ahead of his time.
Speaker 1: But the Patriots aren't going to be using that kind
Speaker 1: of player unless you're doing sort of what the Saints
Speaker 1: are going to be doing with their quarterbacking situation. If
Speaker 1: you bring somebody in Taysom Hill who does something different
Speaker 1: at a certain situation on the field, or you know,
Speaker 1: with the how much time's left on the clock, those
Speaker 1: kind of things. But I think it's smart with the
Speaker 1: Patriots did to bring in camp And you know I
Speaker 1: heard this argument yesterday. Yeah, but don't you think he's
Speaker 1: going to be a distraction. The Patriots don't allow you
Speaker 1: to be a distraction. I mean they handled distractions quite well.
Speaker 1: Their distractions have nothing to do with what are you
Speaker 1: wearing at a press conference. Their distractions are a little
Speaker 1: bit bigger than that. I got a tight end in prison,
Speaker 1: My owner is being brought up on charges. My coach
Speaker 1: maybe was spying on somebody. Like these are the things
Speaker 1: they deal with, and they deal with those pretty well. Oh, Cam,
Speaker 1: is he gonna be able to wear a scarf to
Speaker 1: the press conference? And I went, has anybody seen what
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew wears? As anybody said, Boy, Gardner Minshew, he's
Speaker 1: a distraction. Brady gave a lot of thought going to
Speaker 1: that press conference. Yeah, see does it say Brady was?
Speaker 1: I mean, he wasn't maybe as adventurous about his outfit.
Speaker 1: He didn't wear a scarf, He didn't wear a scarf.
Speaker 1: Maybe and some sunglasses, but I mean he brought the
Speaker 1: hammer occasionally with his choice of outer coat. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: cost per outfit was probably full cams to Brady's. If
Speaker 1: Cam Newton plays well, it doesn't matter what he wears
Speaker 1: to a press conference. Coach, can you talk about Cam's
Speaker 1: outfit earlier today? Can you imagine just his face? Is
Speaker 1: this what we're doing? Coach? Could you respond the color
Speaker 1: coordination of Cam with the scarf with what he had on? Uh? No,
Speaker 1: Belichick should coach the game from the sideline. In one
Speaker 1: of Kim's outfits like week one, that's dulcha, dude, cut
Speaker 1: off what he's Yeah, I cut the sleeves off this
Speaker 1: fifteen hundred dollars jack looking for Tommy Hill figures hoodie
Speaker 1: that I couldn't cut off sleeves. Yeah, look at what
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew wears two games like his outfits, and I've
Speaker 1: never heard anybody say he's a distract. Now, Grant it's Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: That the Louis Vaton clipboard with that design on the back,
Speaker 1: that's he's holding up his plays to cover his mouth.
Speaker 1: That it's all Louis. Yeah, coming, come on. If Cam
Speaker 1: plays well, he can wear a dress, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: I don't care. Just play well. That's all all you want.
Speaker 1: That's what you would accept. Could Cam Newton be a
Speaker 1: better signing for the Patriots than Brady in Tampa? Could
Speaker 1: that actually be a possibility, And the answers, yes, as
Speaker 1: much as you know, we don't want to embrace that
Speaker 1: because I mean, Brady what he did, got out of
Speaker 1: the AFC, went to the NFC, NFC South. That Tampa
Speaker 1: team I think is ready to go. He gave you're
Speaker 1: hosting the super Bowl. Like that buzz you know is immeasurable.
Speaker 1: Cam going to New England created a little buzz here.
Speaker 1: And if he proves to be successful because the odds
Speaker 1: now now it feels like that maybe they are a
Speaker 1: playoff team. But I think they're around. I don't know
Speaker 1: if they're over under his change from what nine nine
Speaker 1: and a half McLeman, I thought it was eight and
Speaker 1: a half to nine, but yeah, maybe it changed. I
Speaker 1: know they're odds. Yeah, like comeback Player of the Year.
Speaker 1: Cam's up there on the short list, and I don't know,
Speaker 1: like MVP odds. I think he's up there as well.
Speaker 1: I had two hours in the books, one more to go.
Speaker 1: He is the mayor of Flavortown, but what if his
Speaker 1: hometown is renamed Flavortown? Guy Fieri will join us. The
Speaker 1: city of Columbus, Ohio getting names, signing a petition thousands
Speaker 1: wanting to change the name of Columbus, Ohio to Flavortown.
Speaker 1: Guy Fieri will join us. Coming up, Dan Patrick Show
